PROSPEK DAN TANTANGAN PETANI KELAPA SAWIT SWADAYA DI DESA AIR HITAM KECAMATAN UKUI KABUPATEN PELALAWAN DALAM MENGHADAPI SERTIFIKASI ISPO
Abstract: Increasing demand
for palm oil and palm oil derivative products has triggered demand for oil palm
fruit. This phenomena has been responded by Indonesian oil palm growers by
increasing oil palm production through land expansi on. Land expansion has been
claimed as the source of deforestation, land degradation, biodiversity loss,
greenhouse gas emission, and land conflicts. The Indonesian Sustainable Palm
Oil has been established to promote sustainable oil palm production. However,
the implementation of the certification program face various problem,
especially at the smallholder levels. The objective of this study is to analyze
the performance of independent oil palm smallholders, to assess the application
of good agricultural practices in relation with the ISPO standards and to
analyses prospects and chalenges toward certification ISPO. The study use
agribusiness income analyses, scaling method to measure the smallholders
practices based on the ISPO standard and descriptive method to analyze
prospects and chalenges faced by smallholders to obtain ISPO certification. The
result shows that the oil palm smallholder profits on average are above the
regional wage standard. However, the smallholders compliance to the ISPO
standards is only 43.5%. Certification ISPO would promote better acces to
independent smalholder in market acces, financial acces and endorse sustainable
production of oil palm. However, independent oil palm smallholers face various
chalenges to obtain certificate of ISPO.
This figure shows that there will be lots of effort to be done to get
the ISPO certification.
